New rack for bags, hats, and more

Hello dear readers,


I've been working hard to craft a new rack for the daycare center.  There will now be 3 models, one with planters, one with cakes and sweets, and the one I'm still working on which will be filled with crocheted goods.  People at the center buy them as gifts for their grandchildren. I hope it will sell as well as the two others but I need help with the crochet work and wish some ladies would be able to collaborate.  







I'm still working on how to hang the bags on this rack.  Hopefully, the problem will be solved by my next post.  Meanwhile, I made new easels for Adi's beautiful paintings. 


 



Until a few days ago we enjoyed a very mild winter but all at once we are going through a very cold and rainy term.   My apartment is warm and cozy, otherwise I wouldn't be able to work or type. Good thing I completed the crochet work. The daycare center too is heated and warm.  There are a lot of people, especially elderly ones, with flu and pneumonia.  It's good I was vaccinated against these diseases in time.

I wish all my dear readers good health and a warm and cozy home.

Hugs!

Cakes and sweets

 Hello dear readers,


Let the new year be a better one than the year before! War and enmities still prevail here, but life must go on.

I'm filling new racks with cakes, cookies, and candies to sweeten the situation  The picture below shows the first model. My friends at the senior day center love the model and from now on we will start working with both sweets and plant racks.



A young girl, who serves a term in doing national service instead of military service at our senior day care center. The girl's name is Adi, the same as my granddaughter's.  Adi was supposed to help me paint the racks. I discovered that she is a very talented painter so now she paints little paintings on egg-carton pieces and I make easels for them from coffee stirrers.  (I'd love to see Monet and Van Gogh's reactions)







The Hanukka bazaar at the center was a great success.  A large quantity of knitted items of clothing,  bags, rugs, and toys were sold.  For the first time, our plants' wooden racks and easels were displayed. They were all sold out.


As usual, I try to make an impact at work on the importance of recycling.  Lovely things can be made from everything around the house..  The sales help the Center purchase materials for giving work and purpose for life to the 200 permanent senior visitors.


Hugs and blessings to you all.
